I wouldnt touch a listing in a hoa with a 10 ft pole, but the Poconos is especially bad and barelyfunctional.

Not worth the charges . Get a vacation home out in the middle if the woods or near a trail instead of in a development.

Drugs, corruption, waspy neighbors, airbnb guests acting like assholes, are all not unheard of. Im sure there's a few that arent too bad but you can get a much cheaper property the further north you go especially in Wayne County. Less obnoxious tourists and more nature. Pike also isnt too bad.

I used to service nearby areas when I was in pest control. Anecdotal but HOA didn’t stop people from having issues like the poster above me. Hell, you’re paying a monthly fee and your neighbors are breaking into each other’s houses. And I didn’t visit the places OP mentioned I don’t think but the state of disrepair some of them had. Or how the one place had to put up signs saying they needed to raise money to fix a bridge that looked and at was going to fall apart. Like the Miami condo collapse they didn’t keep up with maintenance on a lot of stuff.
